Does it just make you think Parker Bowles?

Is the nickname cami awful? Milly? Mila?

I like it. It everyone else hates it!

Beautiful! As is Camille

I prefer Camille (ca-meel) personally, but think Camilla is nice too :)

I do also like Camille. It's such a pretty name.

Yes I'm worried as no one else I have mentioned it to likes it! I also like Amelie- but worry that it doesn't sound half as beautiful in a northern accent as it does in French!

I like it!

I like it, I had a friend at primary school called Camilla, a sweet girl. It sounds a bit Swedish (that's a good thing). Also reminds me of camomile and fields of daisies.

I like it

I know a person who named her dd this. No one likes it. No one has dared say this though... she's a bit scary

I went to school with a Camille - always thought it was a beautiful name.

I like it, but not nickname 'Cami' - Milly or Milla are OK though.

Camilla is one of the less annoying royals, so that association wouldn't bother me.
